Distractions

March 18, 2016 by J.B.

Caring for chimpanzees is harder than you will ever know. All we want to do is work – we live to sweep, scrub, and spray down enclosures – but these chimpanzees keep coming along and distracting us. Here, Anna does her best to satisfy Jamie’s demands for some playtime so that she can return to her true passion, squeegeeing.

    Short but sweet clip. I can certainly understand why it’s hard to get work done. Nice of you caretakers to provide entertainment for the Chimps. You all look like your love your jobs.

    Looks like a hoot. Now if only Anna would come and do my windows! They’re in desperate need of an enthusiastic cleaning.
